[vcf-midatlantic] Happy owner fo a Tandy MC-10

[Duane Craps]

Dean,

I have one that i picked up in a thrift store a couple of years ago.

I do not have the 8 volt AC transformer that normally powers it.

I feed it with 9 volts DC which works just fine ( it feeds straight into 
a full wave bridge ), except the ± voltages are not developed for the 
RS-232 output.

It came with a CTR-83 cassette recorder.

I was surprised that there is a very active Yahoo! group for the MC-10

I had one of the first COCOs , but got rid of it when I got a PC.

I really, really hate that squared off 6847 font.

If not for that I'd get one of the later COCOs to play with.

And the only thing that I have with a NTSC input is an old LCD in the 
bedroom.

I thought about Grant Searle's FPGA emulation, but looks like a steep 
learning curve.

Might be a good class.

Duane
